MINED LAND RECLAMATION BOARD 110(1) ANNUAL REPORT <br />For Season 2014 <br />CRYSTALJACK MINING <br />PERMIT NO. M- 1993 -030 <br />Prepared: 12 Apr 2014 <br />Summary: <br />Mechanized equipment was operated on Crystaljack mining properties from 2 through 10 June <br />2014, using a John Deere 350 at Site 4 on the Ute unpatented mining claim. The area was <br />reclaimed and reseeded. <br />Map Depicting Operations: <br />Attached are maps showing the ten claims covered under this permit, permit M- 1993 -030. The <br />maps show past excavations which have been reclaimed (green), currently open dig sites (shaded <br />orange), which includes the site on the Ute, and proposed dig sites (either a blue button or a <br />rectangle). <br />Current Disturbances (2014): <br />All dig sites on Crystaljack properties have been reclaimed except for access roads and proposed <br />dig sites. All disturbances are 20% to 100% revegetated. <br />Reclamation Summary (Includes 2014 Reclamation <br />Since this project began in 1993, approximately 4.89 acres have been excavated and reclaimed. <br />All newly reclaimed sites have been reseeded the same season. These sites are then planted with <br />trees the following season. Only Site 4 on the Ute has less than 20 percent growth. Sites 6 and <br />Site 7 on the Two Point have 60 percent growth. All other sites are 80 percent or better. <br />Reclamation Completed During g 014: <br />The prospect at Site 4 on the Ute was opened and reclaimed a total of 0.25 acre. <br />Proposed 2015 Operations: <br />Operations will be in conjunction with operations on Glacier Peak Mining claims between mid - <br />May through early August. Mechanized operations will be limited to 10 working days on the <br />Crystaljack claims. We will use a John Deere 350 or equivalent on the Qui -Buc No. 1 at Site 13 <br />(M). Maximum size of disturbance will be 0.50 acre but will likely be 0.2 acre for this season. <br />Additionally, the old access road to Sites on Qui -Buc No. 4 will be closed by installing berms at <br />both ends since this road serves only reclaimed sites and has been closed by the U. S. Forest <br />Service. Site visits, including mineral extraction, reclamation, and claim maintenance will be <br />continued throughout the season. <br />i <br />
